According to Ain’t It Cool News, Kick-Ass 2 is officially greenlit. The official word is said to come from none other than Mark Millar himself. Apparently, Mr. Millar was on Radio 5 in the UK when he let out the good news. This, he said, was due to the smashing success of DVD sales for the first title.

Matthew Vaughn, the director of Kick-Ass, is currently working on X-Men: First Class. So, we probably won’t see this film until 2012-ish. This is all assuming the same director and crew will be working on the sequel, which is highly likely, yet not official. Stay tuned.
